'Survivor' Castoff Melinda Hyder on 'The Early Show'

Melinda Hyder, the latest booted from 'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island', appeared on CBS 'The Early Show' this morning. The interview can be found here and there's also the clip of the "secret scene" available on the site.

Here's an excerpt:
Harry Smith wondered whether the decision might have had something to do with the generation gap between the contestants, calling it "an age thing." And a secret scene of Hyder, only seen on The Early Show, showed there might be something to that theory:

"My new tribemates, most of them are not somebody I would choose to hang out with in my normal life. You've got Danielle, Courtney and Aras, who are younger. You have Bobby, who was on the younger tribe, even though he's my age and then you have Shane, who is older but doesn't really act like he's older. We are completely different people. Their language is just horrible. It's lifestyle and attitudes and that type of situation. It was an invasion. I think, a definite invasion."

What do you think? Do you think it was an age/attitude thing? A purely numbers ploy? What did Melinda in?

IMO, her goody-two-shoes-iness is what did her in. I liked her, she was alright, but just too frou frou for Survivor, too nice.
